v2, following feedback from mgorny: Added a short explanation on what |
5 |
the issue actually is and how it is fixed. Left the sed incantation |
6 |
as-is because it comes from upstream and I do not want to break it. |

27 |
+Development versions of mu between 1.7.18 and 1.7.25 have a bug causing |
28 |
+mail file names to sometimes get mangled after moving messages between |
29 |
+directories. Symptoms include unread messages never being marked as |
30 |
+read. |
31 |
+ |
32 |
+Affected messages have the ':2,' flag appended multiple times. Using the |
33 |
+following commands, users can remove the extra flags. |
34 |
+ |
35 |
+ find ~/Maildir -name '*:2,*:*' | |
36 |
+ sed "s/\(\([^:]*\)\(:2,\)\{1,\}\(:2,.*$\)\)/mv '\0' '\2\4'/" \ |
37 |
+ > rename.sh |
38 |
+ # review rename.sh. empty file indicates that you are unaffected |
39 |
+ sh rename.sh |
